WHAT OUR CLIENTS THINK_
"8 out of 10 media professionals choose Bcnsound over their regular shampoo".
We rock. It's official. We asked a number of our regular clients and collaborators to write something for our website. Many of them wrote lovely things. Obviously, we threw away the rubbish ones.
Double You, as usual, have come up with an novel way of promoting the new football boots from Nike coming out in time for the World Cup 2010. There are four boots, SPEED, TOUCH, ACCURACY and CONTROL.
They decided to create an entire Pinball machine, with 4 games, each one representing one of the boots - a speed game, one with accuracy challenges and so on. The machines have been installed in Nike stores throughout Spain. Pinball retro hit.
I was brought in to develop all the music and sounds which were to be a hybrid between the worlds of football and pinball / computer games. Sounds ranged from game audio like crowd atmospheres and reactions, interaction with menus, retro pinball recreations and all the music for the experience.
My favourite part is the music for the opening menus and the final screens after playing - a techno-gladiator style bassline with sounds of a massive football crowd chanting, stamping and clapping the beat, waiting for you to step onto the field and play...lots of expectation, that matches the glory /triumph look of the campaign.
Listen here to excerpts.

CLIENT_
Studio Nimrod, Ogilvy
NOTES_
Nimrod invited me to write the music and create the FX for this advert for the 2010 Formula 1 spanish race in May.
As it was entirely animated, the challenge was to create all the sounds of the car and a crowd from scratch, which the client wanted to be really prominent. These FX also had to mix well with the high energy music and the intense voice-over, all in the space of 10 seconds without anything getting lost.
Summa invited me to take part in the branding of the new spanish weather channel for Digital Plus, which also has a corresponding website where the channel can be watched 24/7 (actually very useful for checking the weather!)
I created the music, the audio logo and overall sonic branding in tandem with the team from Summa, who controlled everything else from the graphics to the set design.
My job was made a lot easier because I had strong material to work with - they had already developed up a very elegant and simple brand direction using clean circles and bold, bright colours.
Between us we aimed to creat a fresh, accesible and dynamic look for the channel while remaining open to viewers of all ages.

CLIENT_
Geurilla / Studio Copyright / Ajuntament Del Prat de Llobregat
NOTES_
I think the creative team for this local announcement did a fantastic job of making what is a pretty dull subject (street cleaning news) into an engaging and fun little advert.
I had great fun making this cartoony jazz piece to go with Studiocopyright's 50's-styled animations. The idea just seemed to fit from the first moment I worked on it.

CLIENT_
Director - Bryan Robbins
NOTES_
Bryan was looking for someone to come up with a classic funk track for this tongue-in-cheek spec ad for Doritos.
We also collaborated on editing the voice-overs to create the dialog and hook lines.

"DIVERSION = ALCOHOL?"
WORK_
Original music
CLIENT_
Client - Basque Government Director - Denis Rovira
Producer - Debolex
NOTES_
This is an alcohol awareness advert that gives a twist to the usual story that it is the young who need the advice on responsible drinking - from whom exactly do they learn that too much alcohol = fun?
The very stylish, cine verité ad was directed by Denis Rovira, who wanted a very minimal touch of introspective music for the end of the ad.

We took a track of ours and fit it to this advert for the Redbull Music Academy, which was in Barcelona for their 2008 workshops. We had some fun with the sound FX too...

CLIENT_
Dani Navarro / Generalitat de Catalunya
NOTES_
This year the four main dance theatres of Barcelona are repeating their offer of customizable season tickets. Once again under Dani's direction we were given a lot of artistic freedom to create an unusual soundtrack that sets the tone to go with the print campaign.
Dani's elegant and simple design was animated this year by Joel from Studio Copyright motion graphics.

We created the music for this entertaining intro movie to the 2nd Special Edition DVD from Arte y Diseño magazine. This special edition is all about spanish motion graphics teams, featuring showreels and interviews with some of the best spanish motion graphics designers working today.
Included are many of our friends and collaborators, including VASAVA, Area 3, Studio Copyright and many more...
The intro movie was cooked up by Tal, Sara, Pere and Fernando.

Original Music
CLIENT_
Director - Denis Rovira
Producer - Axis Films
NOTES_
We developed a minimal and atmospheric piece for the latest Tetrapak ad, part of their latest ecological awareness campaign.
The music was re-used for the following two years, on ads announcing some of the top brands they work with, including Nestle, Leche Asturias, Don Simon and others.
Tetrapak actually liked the music so much they requested to use it as their corporate sound, putting it on their telephone lines as their hold music.

CLIENT_

Agency - AD 180
NOTES_
Over-the-top, glorious orchestral finale for the ironic Media Markt advert aired during the Eurocup 2008. It is a variation of the Media Markt theme melody in the style of Elgar (!).
This was quite a challenge and has turned out really nicely.

NEWS! this project was selected for the top three (audiovisual communication) by the prestigious Laus Design Awards, 08.
ABOUT THE MUSIC_
This was a real pleasure to work on. Based on Jorg's very strong graphical storyboard to explain the concept, we had a lot of fun coming up with all the music and FX, starting "analog" and going all digital in the middle before returning to "analog" at the end again.

Jorg Richter / Generalitat de Catalunya
NOTES_
The four main dance theatres of Barcelona have come together to offer this seasons events together. You can combine your own program of shows for the season for a fixed multi-ticket price.
The ad was fun to do, as the graphics are very simple and so the music has a lot of room to set the tone.
